  Speaker 1: betting partner of the NFL. Download the Draft Kings app

  Speaker 1: and use the code Bobby sports to get in on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the action. I gotta said, last night was the first
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: basketball game, and I bet on the Lakers to cover
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: versus Golden State's terrible. It's terrible idea. It's terrible idea.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: They can't shoot. I mean, Lebron scored thirty and Anthony
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: David scored twenties. I just looked this morning because I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: didn't stay up. The game short at nine o'clock because
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I knew I wouldn't watch it if it was too late.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I know, this football podcast just every right, chill out.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: No one said me, let me start this shot. This
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: is the halftime show, so it's the middle of the week.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So it's like, it's so stupid. Don't know why I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: bet that, And so I bet it and they lost,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm an idiot, but I always feel like the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Lakers with Lebron are going to find a way even
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: though they suck. They have no shooters. There was a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: story about some guys like he was delivering pizza a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: year ago, couldn't you make the G League bubble? And
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Nony's on the starting's on the roster of the Lakers,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's more about the Lakers and it
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is him. Yeah, I don't know that's a good thing
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for them, so but I do. I love the NBA,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and so we're back. I did bet on the odds
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: boost because Jeff Kings will do odds boost, and I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: bet on Kevin Durant to scored twenty points or more
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and he did, so a little money there. Well, I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: guess wait, I guess I didn't win yet. Never mind,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's tonight yet I thought, I want already. That's just tonight.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That happened to me with baseball, like I had bet
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: on the Yankees money line for this last game, but
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it got postponed, so I thought the bet was canceled.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And then I log in, I see my balance is
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: like still low, and I'm like, what's happening? Where did
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: my money go? And I guess they reactivated the bets
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: once the game was on the next day, I thought
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I was in one and I wasn't open. Oh not unsettled, Yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: one open, they're settled, which is all wins and losses, losses,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: trying to stay off that losses category. So here we are.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about a few things that I thought were
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: super interesting. First of all, they did announced that Black Friday,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we'll have football now because it's great. I saw people
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: upset about, like more football. Cram down our throat, down
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: our throat. First of all, you don't have to watch it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Second of all, I have to watch it because I must,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and what else are we doing? But even if you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: have bears in the commanders, we ain't watching that. Yeah
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I will, I will, yeah, and then I'll just complain
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: about it. I watched a little bit. I'll watch the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: end of it, but I'll probably bet on it, Yes,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: so I'll watch it. That's what's shocking to me that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you've bet on the Lakers and didn't even watch the game. Well, again,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I just felt like they were gonna come. I felt
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like they were. I felt so good about like I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: going to bed the game start till nine. Watched that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so I can feel good. They were again like seven
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: points so they're really gonna got something to prove Pat
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Bev he does not shoot her uh Lebron eight back christ.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: The NFL and Amazon are announcing a newly scheduled Black
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Friday game of the day after Thanksgiving. The first of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: its kind NFL Black Friday Game will be November, so
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: don't be looking for it this year. It'll be next year,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: with an expected kickoff time of three pm Eastern and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the statement at the NFL said, Thanksgiving us synonymous with football,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and it's excited to give fans another day. That's a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: good day because we don't do anything anyway. We're vulnerable.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: We need football. There's college going on that day. I think,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: right a little bit. Who cares? Put on every channel,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: take every foot high school football on. Let's pickle ball
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: on there. Let's just watch some stuff. I think about pickleball.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's tough to watch. I love playing pickleball. I've been
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: playing for a couple of years. But professional pickleballers they
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: play in the all four, get up close to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: net and then it's a game of stretch. So I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like it. When they're running. Wow, we're running around. It's tough.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Big is that court? Small Okay, so it's not very big.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That's why it's cool because you know, there's not a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: lot of running. If you're playing solo, there's some running.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's what do you mean solo? Like running back and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: forth one on one. Then you cover the whole court,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: but it's still not the linth of a tennis court
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that you're playing by yourself. Yeah, like solo, you can
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: play run around. Well, that's out played catching myself a kid,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: have a lot of friends, it's told the all up,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: run under and catch it. I used to do that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in my front yard and I have people back in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: school being like I saw you playing football by yourself
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in your front yard. People still say that to me,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I tried buy your house. Uh. Have
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you ever played a coupball at all? Never? I don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: even know. I don't know anything about it. What's easy
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to learn and it's not hard on the body. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. But it can be really
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: competitive too. And have you ever played Kevin Mike? Should
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: we go to the house and play it? Um? You
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: could we set up a little court in the back.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You could have a basketball corps which set it up.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that you guys are really enjoy it
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because you can get competitive quick. Like it's not tennis
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: where you gotta learn everything, you learn the rules. It's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: like it's like if you were a small, really small
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: person playing ping pong on the ping pong table. It's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: like if you're a one foot tall playing pink on
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the ping pong table. So it's small, the nets, you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: below your stern um. It's a whiffle ball and it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a paddle, big paddle. Can the ball bounce, Yeah, that's bounce,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So it's it's almost tennis. It doesn't have it has
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to bounce on the serve, but after that it's tennis
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the rules. We'll just go play sometime,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: all four of us because you'll all be competitive quick.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Because it's that that that's why it's so much fun
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: for everybodys why old people play it. But then there'sooks
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to be a lot of strategy, and some of the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: guys here are good. Jake Owen is really good. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: so we went for a couple of days, me, my wife,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: him and his wife and we went and like a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: vacation for a couple of few days together and we're
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: very close to them, and they had a pickleball court,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and Jake plays a lot, and so we're like, let's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: le's go play a little bit. I whooped him first round,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: just and I don't think because I was so good.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I just think he was expecting it. I really slow
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: played it because he Jake's a really good athlete, He's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: really good at pickleball, and so I was like, I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know, man, what does this racket d do?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I hit it with this side or this side? And
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: so I beat him pretty good, and then time was up.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We had to leave, and I think it was burning
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: him up because he is a competitor. He don't like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to lose. He didn't like to lose, so I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like maybe the next day we wouldn't played again. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he beat me whatever it is. He gat me like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: fifteen to nine or something the second time, and I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sweating like crazy, so he gave it back to me.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But and then I played with Brett a lot. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: guess I'm playing a little bit, but we used to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: play a lot, and I'm gona be honestly, you put
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it on a pretty good Wait, have you and Jake
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: done a tiebreaker or is it one one he left
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: at that. I'm the only one that No, I don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: think that. Maybe I did, I don't remember, but I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: just know I was like, I can't believe I beat him,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be happy with that. And so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I really showed up that second. I stretched that like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'm really gonna try to win that second one. I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: got wolved. I gotta be pretty bad. So pick a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. We'll do it next few weeks. We'll
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: go do it. As getting cold though, Now that's all right,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you can still play outside in the cold. Rule number
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: one a pickleball. Bobby don't like cold. Pick everything. It's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the rule one of everything. Um NFL teams and Americans
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: are rooting against. They put them out of top five.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: They're rooting against the According to rancor dot com, here's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a rundown to the five teams that most people say
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: they're actively rooting against. Number five the Washington Commanders. I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: would imagine it suck already, like why would you kick
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: them all? I don't think it's a suck thing because
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: some of these it's for. I think it probably was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Redskins and the football team and the Commanders I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: don't think it's just this a couple of years Dan Snyder. Yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and in the Redskins, we're like, hey, you should change
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: your name for a long time because it really wasn't
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a name they should now because you know, as we
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: get older, we're like, how do I know a lot?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I do it a lot? How did they get away
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: with that for so many you know, like in the nineties,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: those dots that were really old were like, we still
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: people that can smoke a cigarette and be like, why
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: how do we do that? Is not a good name.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Let's just admit it. No, it's not. Let's look at
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: ourselves in the mirror and go, you know what we
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: were part of that. We don't like ourselves, but we learned,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: so I don't know, maybe some of that Dan Snyders
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: also seems like a pretty terrible dude. Number four the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. I think that's just because it's so popular.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: It really ain't nothing to dislike. I mean, Roethlisberger doesn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: pretty shady stuff, but I don't think that was so
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: mainstream that if you weren't in sports, you really knew
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: about it or held onto it. Right. Yeah, and by shady,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I mean that stuff was real bad that they said.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how that ended, but the accusations
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: were very bad. I know he got to spend it
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, yeah, I ended with a payoff. I'm
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: pretty sure. Yeah, like all the way here. Number three
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Because of Tom they want a super
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Bowl now Tom Brady. Number two New England Patriots. What
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Tom Brady, they want a bunch of super
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Bowls and Bill Belichick Tom Brady. People hate winners. People
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: love winners, so they win too much and they hate winners.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: What what is the win race? Of two wins? You
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: like them, and then after two wins you're just like,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: all right, get out, get out of here. Yeah. I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: think when it starts to be a dynasty, people start
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to get annoyed because I have to hear about it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: all the time. I hated the Bulls as a kid
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: because they want all the time. Really like, I hate
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the Bulls when Michael Jordan was the man, you hated
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the Bulls. But it's interesting that's a big Land Hawks fan, Spudweb,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? He was awesome because he's a little Yeah. Contest.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Number one Dallas Cowboys Yeah, of course that's and that's crazy,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: not because we're winners, just maybe because we're annoying because
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys America's team and we're not self proclaimed America's team.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: We are just America's team. And I think the fact
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that they can't go you just self proclaiming. No, no no,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we we are. Like but when you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: say who's America's I hear you, but you just said,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we don't self proclaiming. Then you go, we just are,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but we are. That's you self proclaiming it. They are
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: America's team. And when you watch a football game, they're
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: always like Cowboys game in the week, it didn't matter
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: they get the highest ratings. Yeah, because people love them
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: or hate them. For the most part, they they want
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to watch them win or really watch them lose. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I would even say the last couple of weeks, there's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: just been some bad games, but people still like to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: watch the Cowboys play. The rundown of teams that people
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: just don't care about because they don't really root either way,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, if they win, that's cool. Number
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: five Carolina Panthers, I forget about them. That's why people
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: don't root against him forget about it. Number four the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Yeah, sure, the same thing. You don't wint often,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you don't get thought about often. You're in the shadow
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of the Cowboys two in Texas. Number three Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Number one, I'll get back to number two. And second.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Number one the Detroit Lions because they just have been
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: losers for such a long time, so nobody roots against them.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You kind of root for the losers. I guarantee if
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: they win three in a row, he'll be like, I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hate the Lions. Number two is Buffalo Bills. Now, they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: haven't won a super blow. That's changing though. In two
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: years that'll be maybe they'll be in the top five
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of definitely could be quickly. So Buffalo Bills number two,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: because they haven't won. They've been you know, last year.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: They get pretty close. They're really good, and I think
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: once they start winning a lot, which I think they will,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the Bills mafia is going to make them one of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the most hated football I agree right now the most loved.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: It's a desifined line between love and hate. I mean,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it's passion. It's it's like a song being overplayed and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I will talk to artist and me and the Goals
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: song overplay the people like, I can't hate that song.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It's played so much because there is no right line
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to walk, so you might as well have them overplay.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You want to be it played so much that everybody knows.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody hears an gets point. So I've heard it too
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: much because there's no perfect line, and rather that be
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: than not played enough towards not in the conscious of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: people that are listening to a certain format. So you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to be overplayed, It's awesome. I can't wait to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: one day. I'm cool holding on. Hey, namastads got over
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: n streams on Spotify. I saw this morning the RAI
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Idiot song Let's Go, which is crazy because I don't
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: know why it's climbing now. It's just a classic I think. Now,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. We're not that hasn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: hit classic rock yet. It hasn't, so I didn't have
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a song called Namasta from the Raging Idiots. We did
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it three or four years ago, and my favorite song.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It's our number one stream song and it's at over
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: nine hundred thousand, and I was just surprised because I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: went to look because they pulled it for a while
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: from Spotify because Spotify pulled down all speaking comedy stuff
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: spoken comedy, and we were classified as comedy, and so
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they pulled it down. I was like, what then, Now
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it's a country, which is Nomas Days country. Well, you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just gotta classify to something that's so weird. So it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: has nine and ten thousand streams. So if you're listening
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to this, stream it up a little bit. Stream it
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: we hit that million. What are we gonna do? I mean,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I think you can. Everybody gets a million bucks. I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: think everybody on this show gets a million bucks. Nothing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Let me, I'm gonna kind of give you guys a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: little little tipster about what I'm thinking of the parlay
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: this week. So let's talk about Draft Kings, which obviously
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we're big fans of. They support the show, that's why
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: we get to do the show. It's very exciting. He
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: was very excited there. There's been a lot of games
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: recently too where it's been very excited where the kicker
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is like making the game and he's all coming down
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to the kicker. Of the Tennessee game, it's been great.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: The Chargers that wasn't such a great game, but the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: end of it was cool because he came down to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the kicker and who was like like every time he kicked, oh,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: my legs falling off, he fall down. He'd making then
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: fall down. He's on the sideline warming up, not even kicking,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: just staring with a big black thing wrapped around his legs.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And then that legal you buy teams and get really
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: spencive real quick. I wanted the chargers and I was like, wait,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: what's happening here? You don't want to see that. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: was like, this guy, what what he's gonna do it?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Like they were like he's warming up and he wasn't.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: He was just staring at the ball on the sideline.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It was weird. This was the funny thing about that,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't I was busy maybe cooking or something.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So every time I missed the kick, but they would
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: show the replay of him like, oh, after he'd kicked
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the ball, like, oh he missed that one, and then no,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: he made every single one, but it looks like he
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was there. But I don't know. Well, they don't want
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like a Kansas City situation where like what do you
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: only have one kicker out there? It was good the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: guy end up making the kicks, I know, but the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: lucky for them, Yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: don't have enough room on a fifty three man roster
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to put it extra one got someone else, like you
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: need an extra kicker and a lot of special teams
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: guys too though. I know, but I know the kicking.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: We've seen what's crazy. When it long snapper goes down,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it like runs a whole game. A snapper position we
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: don't even think about because you don't draft him in
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: fantasy because they don't get talked about. What do we
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do with three quarterbacks go down? You can we get
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a receiver who quarterback when he was like exactly, what's happened?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It happened last year the year before in Denver. Really
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: they had to take and even COVID. It was during
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: COVID as why it happened, because like, yeah, there was
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: like an injury and then two quarterbacks got COVID and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: so they put like a running back who had played
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: quarterback before. I don't remember that. It was so close
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: they couldn't bring a player up in the practice squad
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and teach them that the system it's crazy. So you
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: kickers line it up for an onside kick, the chances
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of getting the ball back or slim the stakes or
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: high the tensions. Higher your pulse is racing. That's what
• 15:08

• 15:29
  Speaker 1: with a parley winner. I'm feeling pretty good already bet it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You already bet it because I liked where the lines were. Yeah,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: earlier the better man, or it can get worse too.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Most of the times. Now, I don't think that's true.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Most time. I think it's just wide open as it
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: can go either way. Because I've done where I'm like,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I love boards and I bet it and it's like
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: two points better. So I'm not saying bet it now.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna tell you what I'm doing. But
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it's the first time I didn't bet three games. I
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: bet three bets two games in an over under dang.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I like that, I like to mix up. I like it,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: but I will I will give you one of them.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: South Carolina's playing Texas A and M Texas A MS
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: minus three. That means South Carolina's plus three. Eddie, who
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: would you take? I mean, I don't like A and M.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about South Carolina. Isn't their game
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: cocks um. I don't know how they're doing this year.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I would take and I would take any Eddie the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: opposite team of what I'm saying. People have made the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: observation anytime Eddie's like, oh I was on that too.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: We've lost both parties that stid didn't bet the last one.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: But but but you said something like, oh that's it, Mike.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Have you seen that people are like the only two
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: parlays you've lost, or when Eddie is like so passionately
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: about it or like had part of it already, you
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: guys are idiots. I didn't bet the last one, so
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you guys lost that. No, but you came on. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was, but multiple listeners and messages
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: about down Yeah, you're like, okay, Oh, now I can't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: write it down, guys, really, I can't just keep a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: log of what Bobby said. So, but you didn't bet it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't bet it, not this one, the last one
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I did. So you would take A and M minus three.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I bet South Carolina plus three. I like what I'm hearing, Eddie.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's how you make here. I like what I'm here,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the three. We'll see how it goes.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm not putting it out there yet, and we'll
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: see where the line goes. If the line changed drastically
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: before Friday, I probably won't bet it, but I like it.
• 17:12

  Speaker 1: halftime show, which we do our shows we're really supposed
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to do on Friday, but we do a big one
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: on Monday. We do a big one on Friday and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. We'd like to hop on and just put
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this only on the twenty five Whistles feed, and we
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: just talked about what's gone on in in the middle of
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the week. For the most part um, here we go Iowa,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. Ohio State. It's a twenty nine point favorite.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's a big spread, but man, Ohio State it's really
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: good and Iowa is not as good as we thought
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they would be at the beginning of the year. What
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: do you think about that one, Kevin? I think they'll cover. Yeah,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I will will put up what three points
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: seven points maybe they'll put up uh ten, like two
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: safeties and two field goals, something weird like that. Yeah,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that's how the state will put up some points, so
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: they'll be fine. Clemsons the twelve and a half point
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: favorite at Clemson versus Syracuse. Syracuse number fourteen. But here's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: what happens to those teams in that conference is they
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: come in ranked because they're not playing anybody, and they
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: play Clemson, who is pretty good, and Clemson punk them,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and then it's a revolving situation. Yeah, that's the only
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: reason I'm interested in the game to see if Syracuse
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: is really anything I would like for them to be
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: because I relate them to Kansas. Yeah, they've been beat
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: up for a long time, and you'd like to see it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Whenever teams have beat up for a long time, it
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: comes back and goes, hey, we're not just a basketball school. Yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: we like that, but just don't win too much. Yeah,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a little too much. We hate that Orange Man. Cincinnati
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: minus three at s m U. I think Cincinnati wins
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that in cover. Since ranked one. Now they're backup in it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: You know, they're back up in it. After they played Arkansas,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: we beat him. They didn't have any games. Really, that's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: how they're able to climb. They got a little name
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: now and they have a good record. Let's put the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: number beside them. Texas minus four at Oklahoma State. Texas
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: ranked twenty a four and a half point favorite at
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. I think Spencer Standers might not play there.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: You know, man, that is just begging people to bet
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. They're begging, and they know they're probably gonna
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: work out. They're begging. It's like the Giants this week,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and the Giants and the Jaguars with the spreads like weird,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars the favorite Vegas just begging because they know
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: they know something, but they don't know what I know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: And that's how the teams feel. Oh yeahs because I've
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: got on a motion. Uh Nemphis two lane, nobody cares usially.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Oregan is interesting. Oregan six point favorite. Uh they're in Oregon.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I mean U c l A. They're pretty solid. They're
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: running back is like a mid season All American. Yeah
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Sharp from Chigan transferred from Michigan. But yeah, they're good. Yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: they're good. Or are they only playing other garbage? I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: mean USC is good to until they lost Utah Utah
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was good too until they lost to Florida. Yeah. You know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Oregon was good too until they lost to Georgia. Yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm interested in Oregon because they've rolled everybody since Georgia.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: But they got rolled by Georgia. Alabamas twenty one point
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: fever of Misissippi State. They're gonna be mad. Bet that one. Hey,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Maam's gonna be mad, Eddie so so yeah, So that's emotions.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: That's when you bet right there. Penn State four point
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Minnesota TCU minus five of the Kansas State. That would
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: be a good game, I think, better than what people think.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be TCU five point Kansas State solid and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they run, They run at you all different ways and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: angles and different folks, and their quarterback runs like a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: running back. All right, you're skipping Tennessee Tennessee Martin. It
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't get a line. It's just too high they can.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It doesn't get a line, I think because Tennessee Martin
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is not a f BS school. Does this win automat?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Does this wind move them in the rankings at all?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Or just keep them right where they're at and let well,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: if somebody loses above them, they may move up just
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: because that spot is now open. It's like standing the line.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: You know, if the line moves forward and everybody takes
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a step, the line moves forward, But if somebody falls
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: out ahead of you, they'll just probably bop up one. Listen.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I think here's what I think about Tennessee. We're gonna
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: lose to Georgia, and they may lose Kentucky. And you
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: know me, I think Kentucky is a joke. But if
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Kentucky comes in full quarterback, healthy running back, healthy tesse,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna don't get me worried about Kentucky. They're gonn
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: think they would have sewed up. I told you. I'll
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: somebody talking yesterday he was like, I wonder we're gonna
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: play a national championship game already, so they have one
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: in a while. Yeah, that's not good. They're in crazy town.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't have that mentality. It's a It was a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: great win for them, it's awesome, but man, I feel
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: like they're gonna lose two games. You heard me say it,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: or that momentum just push them all the way through. Yeah. Momentum, though,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: usually works for people who know how to use it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And I talk as someone who does. We don't how
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to use it yet either. When we get good, we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: don't know how to use momentum yet. We're just like,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: oh my god, look at this. You're not used to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: have in that momentum. I guess I gotta get used
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to be in the spotlight so you can stay in
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the spotlight. But after you fall out a couple of times,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: like okay, god, I'm learning. I'm learning what we have
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to do here. That offense is good, though, is it?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Or are we living in a simulation? What the crash? Yes,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the offense is good. Okay, it's kind of simulation. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: never know, man, you never know. All Right, we're gonna
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: do a thing in a second. We're gonna play the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Dan Patrick interview that we did a long time ago,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: because some of you guys are brand new to the podcast,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and this wasn't a you need to be current on
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: sports interview. Is this just a really cool conversation. So
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Mike and I were talking like, man, we don't want
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that to go to waste. So if you're new you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: didn't get to hear the Dan Patrick interview that I did.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I hope you listened to it. It was awesome. Only
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: one of the coolest things that I've been able to
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: do an interview in people. You've been watching basketball games
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: last night? Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Celtics put put it
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: on the Sixers, get Brown, um Tatum both. I saw
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a flagrant on Hardened. It was the dumbest thing I've
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: ever seen. No, he didn't he he was shooting the three.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Who was it that they said there was a flag
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: or nine? We have Martin smart one or no, it
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: was hard Maybe Horford came out guard him. Gotta Flake
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: barely touched him. Yeah, it's that's yeah, that's my biggest
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in the quarterback. It's rough in the quarterback in the NBA.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: It's so dumb. I do. I'm into this season. I'm
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: excited to see top five players in the NBA right now.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Number one, you gotta go with number one. Universal Between
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: all three of us, I would think Steph Curry. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't put him in number one right now. We're looking
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: at you because we're probably on the same page, Kevin,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: mm hmm. Number Just who would you put We're not
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: trying to press you do get in our answer, Steph
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Curry if you want, I mean, I would go number one.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry. Okay, I think we're probably think a small
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: market team, yes Green, Yes, not from the US. Oh yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I think Janice would probably number one. I think number
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: two is also somebody not for America, Don Chick. I
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: probably put him in three. Now I probably a littok
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: at too. I probably number three as a foreigner. Two.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Those two are awfully close. Who's the m v P
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: last last year? I think two year? Two years, so
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I would go look at two. Who you have it?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Three man? It's also he's also foreign. Yeah, I see,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I don't have a foreign gut a number three? Do
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you have a three? Devin Booker? Probably Booker like six
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: or seven? You have a couple of yeah, m hmm.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what division. He's out West West. He
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: plays for one of the teams that you would probably
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: never even think. If you listed the teams, you'd be like, oh,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I forgot about them, which is probably why he's not
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a bigger deal, even though he's like the great one
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of the greatest players the past. Yeah, I don't know,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: shaved head, white dude, oh nuggets? Yeah, what's his name?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Joker Djokovic. I put him at three. Propet durant it four,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you have to think Durant seven foot tall that gets
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: lost a lot, and he's seven foot tall and plays
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: like a small forward. I mean, Durant's awesome, and they
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: said his body would never work. And then at five
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: then you probably start talking about Steph. Where's Kyrie in
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in any of this? Man, I don't know. I'm not playing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I know I trust him, I'm not trust him. Tatums
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: right there, Yeah, Tatum's getting up there. I probably put alert. Yeah,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it's for sure, Biaslert for sure. I'm just acknowledging that. Yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But I mean I probably step at five, I'm just free.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything written down here. Step at five.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I think I still think Lebron's a top ten players
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: old what about Trey Young? Top ten? I mean do
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I put probably put Job there because I think second
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: tier puts Jaw at like top five. I think Jaw
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: is the first part of that second tier more than six.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I probably a second tier like Jaw Booker Tray, Yeah,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Tray Young because because he's a good score like obviously,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: but Lebron, Yeah, I mean he's really the only one
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that keeps the Hawks like in it as as a leader.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I think he's what keeps the Hawks in it, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the Hawks are kind of in it every year since
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: he's been there about every year. I mean, I just
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: think about him the Knicks, right, I mean that's now
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: when he goes in New York and um but yeah,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: let's see, here's on the Hawks, I know. I mean,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Murray's over there now from Santonio. Um so, yeah, Trey
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Young listen, we'll go with those other top ten forget
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, and then we'll put at number eleven
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: from the Boston Celtics Jason uh So. NBA's back to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: which is pretty well, have the NBA League Pass. You know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch a bunch of Thunder games. It's probably
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: gonna be that pretty How much did that pass cost you?
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Because early season pass is pretty expensive? I think, oh,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: that's not bad. You got a deal. I've had it
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: for like three years and you can always renew Grandfather
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Inn at the end of this season when people don't
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: want to pay for it again, they're like, hey, you
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: can get the deal now because it's over. Nobody really
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: buying it. It's like going to buy It's like buying
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: shorts when the winter, when winter starts. Yeah, exactly, or
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: a boat in December, so you can buy the League
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: past when it ends and it's a little cheaper. The
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: only time I ever bought the league pass was when
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I was doing fantasy basketball. It's the only time, Like
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I want to watch every single game that your players played. Yes,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: but I mean fantasy basketball. I don't have time for that,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: especially when football is right in the middle of the season. Yeah,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: fancy basketball is tough, and have time for the fantasy
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: baseball is tougher. Yeah, played that for a long time.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Are you guys watching baseball? Yeah, I watched the Yankees.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: When they're gonna play the Astros, I'd love I don't
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like the Yankees, but I'd still like to the Yankees
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: beat the Astros because the Astros had their number for
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you know, ever seemingly. But I don't like the Yankees,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: but I would still what why are you checking your head? No? No, no, no, no,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: there's no Yankees. I hope they win. Talk here, it's crazy.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Kevin. I'm like, I've always liked
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the Yankees. I don't know why, Like I just liked
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the history of the Yankees. Like Yankees, but I don't
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: know why. You guys. Hate on the Yanks, I don't.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I hate on them because they have unlimited money. They're
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the big bullies of the rich kid. That the rich
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: kid who gets go to the best school and they
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: don't even get their degree, or they know a teacher
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and they get their degree and now they gotta find
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: job of being overpaid because their dad owns the company. Okay,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's so weird because they're not kids. They're not.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: That my feeling about the Yankees, right, even talking about
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox. The Red Sox are the guys who
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: live and you know, they live kind of over by
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the alley, you know, not really the best person, but
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like they'll mix it up, like they'll fight. They'll rob
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: you if they have to. If you're walking down and
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: you just mind your business, they may beat you up
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and take your money. They may also see seeing ol
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: lady get beat up and go beat that person up
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: who's being up to the old lady. You know, it's
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a weird, interesting, weird. I like the Red Sox better
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: than the Yankees. A dooun't love either wane of them, huh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: but yan just the rich kids get whatever they want.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I enjoy watching the Yankees, and I root for them
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: when they make the playoffs. Joel Embiid probably up there
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: and he's stuck on NBA right now. Well, I'm just
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: trying to just figure out who I missed. So Eddie
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: likes the Cowboys, the Yankees, the Lakers. No, no, no, guys,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Yankees fan, but I enjoy watching the Yankees,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and out of everyone that's in there, I don't want
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the Astros to win it. I don't want that to happen.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: It's a good Premier League team that win ever year, Beau,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know about soccer. Hold on, Man City, Arsenal,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: hold on, what's the I wish I knew I was

• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I came out like, we guess this is good. Up
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: two oclocks. So he's got three clicks, so it's instead
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: of doing the knobs. Click for distance, click for line,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: click for so it's click click click. Got it? Pretty cool, dude,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I need to get that's pretty cool. I shot my
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: first tournament this morning. I was trying to get in
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the corn fairy and so you have to start career mode.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I shot plus nine. I was like, alright, alright, first
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: game and it always takes second, but it's pretty good.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: You're getting there. Yeah. I liked it. I liked it
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a lot. Actually, I need to pay my five bucks
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: so for NBA. H you have me five bucks for NBA?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: What about it? Our league entry fe cost five bucks? Dude,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that's so hard man. I'm telling you, this retro nineties
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: league that we're in. Your team is really good. I
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: want to look. You're complaining about how the Pistons they're
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: really good. This team is really good. I don't know
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: how to work them. I don't know how to control them.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Tom Isiah Thomas not a great shooter, great point guard.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: You can actually hit threes a little bit better than
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman. Defensively shut down whomever you put them on rebound,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Bill Amber, Yes, oh yeah, and those are three They
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: were like eight seven seven. It's like one of the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: best number of teams. Remember my first game, we played
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the Bulls and I you just lost to the Bulls
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: by chance. Stop Michael Jordan's he makes everything. I thought
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I was a good lost to the Bulls by ten yesterday,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: just s me posting the pictures. Yes, I saw that. God, dang,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: are you playing like a computer. Yeah? Well so sort
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of yes for the Bulls. Yes, we're in a league.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: There are six of us in our NBA league. We
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: each have a team. We've played the normal year, the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: current year, but this time we played the nineties, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: so it starts, and I have the Utah Jazz. So
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I got Malone in Stockton. They had all Alone back then,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: who was actually really good too. I tried to immediate
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: he's like eighty four. Tried to him, got some pieces
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: for um and so I'm Utah or solid. I tried
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: all my draft picks. Malone, no different moments, most long
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: place for six Malone. I remember that I tried everybody.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Don't have any draft picks after next year. I tried
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: every single draft pick to build my team up. You
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: pulled the Rams. I got my newt ball seventy nine.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: He will block everybody shot so and Eddie has the pistons.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: But I haven't made any trades or any anything yet.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: But did you find out if we can trade for
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Jordan or any of the You can trade for whomever
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you want, It'll just be really hard to get. I
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: have to give everyone away for Jordan. And the rule
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: was you can't be the Bulls because they have Jordan.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: But you can go get Jordan, go get him. I'd
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: have to give everyone away and you still wouldn't get it. Everyone.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: You try, like ridiculous trades, and the response is always like,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: we're obviously not in the same page here, why are
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you calling me. It's like your fantasy friend from last week. Uh,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: one of those friends, Steve has the spurs and he
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: just does it. David Robinson, Yeah, David Robinson. Tim Dunkin
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't exist yet, and he does it David Robinson. All
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: games post you up and scores, but David Robinson gets sorry.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: You never takes him out of the game. It was
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: like dying. He's an idiot. He thought it would like
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: bleed into them, like early two thousand's you thought you
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: would get David Robinson and maybe some late uh Tim Duncan.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But no, it's like David Robinson, Sean Elliott. The next
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: draft class is Shack Robert Ry, Christian Layn or the
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: those guys coming up. And so the worst team, you know,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's a lottery, and that's the situation. You
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: literally play a year by year. Yeah, but we play.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: We only played twenty eight games seasons and you have
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a month to play your whole season, because some some
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: nights you can play two games and that you can't
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: play any you have a month player whole season. Caused
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: five bucks to play. There six of it. Sometimes we
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: have played each others play computer and so if you
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: have PS five, you gain a league. Interesting. Here's the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: cool thing too, So they have it in retro mode,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: so it looks like you're watching nineties television. So it's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: a little blurried out of that. No, I didn't realize.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: After two games. I was like, how do I get
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: rid of this crowd? Yeah? Now I got a clear picture,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: but I played the first two games and you can
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: barely see the ball. You turn off eric camera. I
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: did that first game. I was like, you're playing this crowd.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So okay, look we're gonna go to Dan Patrick. Appreciate
• 35:46

• 35:56

• 36:16
  Speaker 1: But enjoy this Dan Patrick interview if you haven't heard
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: it yet. Whoa Dan, Good to talk to you. I'm big,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: just massive fan, just a massive massive fans. So you
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: know when they said you would actually spend a few
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: minutes with me, I I was shocked first of all,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: and it elated. So just humble thank you before we start. Great, great,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: glad to Glad to hill. You know, whenever I'm doing
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: an interview and in one capacity or the other, I
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: do them all the day, all the time, either on
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the radio show or on a TV show. But I
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: it starts to just be a wheel and you're just
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: doing them as they come, and you rarely get excited.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're a little more up for one because you
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: know the value of a bit. At this point in
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: your career, do you still get pumped about interviews? And
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: with who? Especially? I think if you have somebody who's
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you, because you want to make
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: sure you're not wasting the time of your audience. And
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I always want to make sure if I have somebody on,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: maybe you don't know who they are, but I'm gonna
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: bring out something in them that you would be interested in.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I like the challenge of doing that. But it's the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: person who's gonna be honest or most honest that I
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: find interesting. It's the person who tries to dodge what
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: you're asking, doesn't give you much, wants to be very vanilla.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Then that's where it gets really tedious. Give me an example,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: somebody who's great that you know, all right, we're gonna
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: do it and they're gonna be awesome. Charles Barkley is
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: always great. Reggie Miller is always great. I find that
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: if you know my guests know if they come on
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the show that this is what we're asking them to do.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Don't come on the show unless you're ready to really
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: give something, reveals something. But it's up to me sometimes
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: to kind of extract thumb that from these guys. They
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: get interviewed more than anybody. When you think about it,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Athletes are interviewed more than anybody you know where they
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: are you know h every day at practice? Um, you know,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: before a game, after a game with the NBA, you
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: have to have an approach that is refreshing to them
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and their competitors. And I find I got to compete
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: with you to get an answer out of you. John
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: McEnroe said you gotta work harder to get a better
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: answer out of me, and he was right. This was
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: early in my career, and I never forgot that sometimes
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: you gotta work harder to get a better answer out
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: of somebody. Do you feel like you're a better interviewee
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: because you interview so many people? Because you know, what
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I'll do is all critique your questions while you're asking them,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and it's not fair to you. But I've given so
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: much thought to interviewing. When I was at ESPN, I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: did a seminar that was five days, eight hours each
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: day on interviewing. It was the best thing that ever
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: happened to me in my career. But it's the worst
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: thing when you start to listen to radio or you
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: listen and do somebody on TV doing interviews, because you're
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: listening for the things that they're not doing what you
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: were told to do to bring out a good interview,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: open ended questions, short question. You know that first question,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: what are you setting up for the next question? For
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: your last question, what are you trying to get at? Like,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: there's this strategy to it. And I wouldn't have known
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: this until I took this class. It was a guy
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: named John Swatsky out of Canada. It was the master
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: of the interview, and I was fascinated by it. Uh.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know who else, if anybody else was at ESPN.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: They they were mad at me because I wanted to
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: bring this guy in to teach us how to interview,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: because I saw an article and people are like kicking
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: and screaming going to this seminar and they didn't realize
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that I'm the reason why they were going there, because
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I wanted this guy to come in and help us.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: You know, when you talk about the ESPN stuff, and
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of questions about that, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I still don't, but it makes me think about, you know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: my whole lifetime of watching you on ESPN and even
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Jeopardy, which I was a big Jeopardy
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: guy and a music guy obviously, and then you know,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: watching on Sunday nights and I would come home from
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the radio show and watch your radio show, you and
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: all the dan Ads, like just a massive fan. But
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I've started to realize that I, as a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: public figure, people think they know me at times more
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: than they actually do, and they'll come up and and
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: so you know, one of the things that I'm most
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: curious about, it's like if you go to your house
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and I feel like I know, yeah, but I obviously
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: don't on a personal level, Like in your house, what
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: is your favorite picture in your house? Which if I
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: just asked that question, what is it, Who's in it.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the artist Wolf Khan. He
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: passed away. I think he was just over the age
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: of ninety. And you can't be in a bad mood
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: when you look at a painting of Wolf Khan. Now pictures. Uh,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: there's a picture of my daughter in the library where
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: she's in Galway and she's in a mud puddle and
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: she's probably eleven years of age, and she's got mudd
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: all over her. She thrown mud in the air and
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: she got the biggest smile and it's one of those
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: moments that you just go that person is having a
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: great day. So I tend to gravitate towards you feel
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: better after you you see that picture and you see
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a painting from wolf Kan. What about if I ask
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: about sports, what personal sports picture do you have. Either
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you're somewhere with someone that you look at and it's
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: not it doesn't mean as much because obviously that's your daughter,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: but it's like, man, that was a great moment, either
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: in sports life or my life. I was in a
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: boxing ring. It was fight night in Arizona, and I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: was the host and we were honoring Mohammed Ali and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: we were going to give him this ring. And Mohammed
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Ali is standing next to me waiting for me to
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: give him this ring. And I'm describing to the audience
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: what this ring signifies, and I'm going to hand this
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to Mohammed Ali. And you know that this was probably
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: a years ago, but you know Parkinson's the onset of
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Parkinson had started there. And I just remember in the moment,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm gonna give a ring to Mohammed Ali,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and I sort of fanboyd that. I was like, I
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: gotta get this out of my head because I sometimes
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. I have too many things I'm thinking
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: of when I'm doing something that I shouldn't be thinking about,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: but that moment where I look and I go, who
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: would have thought that a kid came from a small
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: town in Ohio? Is there with Mohammad Ali honoring Mohammed Ali,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm it's never lost on me where I came
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: from and growing up in a big family that I
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: came a long way, but that you can come from
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: a small town where you never would have thought you've
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: gotten there. So it brings out a lot of different
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: thoughts memories there of you're still this kid who was
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: from Mason, Ohio, but you got here. Don't forget where
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: you came from? Yeah, from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, population seven.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Uh so similar instances, you know, growing up and there
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of resource where I came from. So
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: how what showed you and who showed you that there
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: was actually a path to greater even though you couldn't
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: quite define greater. I think I was too naive or
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: stupid to let reality sink in and that you can't
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: do this. I didn't have a plan. B So when
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: people said, oh, if you weren't going to be a
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: sports conister, what would you be and I've been like,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I'm guessing bartender. But I
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: didn't know. And I had been rejected in quite a
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: few places. I lost a job, local job in Dayton, Ohio,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: and I was distraught. So I'm I'm twenty seven. I
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: don't have a full time job in sports, and that's
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: old in this business to get started, and I thought
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: I'm never gonna get in. I was doing morning drive
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: radio rock and roll sto Asian, and I thought, this
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna be doing. And the next girlfriend said,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: just come down to Atlanta. I said, time, I don't
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: want to go to Atlanta. She goes, no, just come
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: down your CNN's hiring. I go. I just I lost
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: out on a job in Dayton, Ohio. I'm not going
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: to get a job at CNN. So I go down there,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: lo and behold. I go in there, last dam in Atlanta.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Give him my resume. Tape guy says, when can you start?
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: So if I don't go to Atlanta, I'm not here.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm somewhere, but I'm not here because CNN
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I was there for five years and after that I
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: went to ESPN for eighteen So I always tell people
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: right place, right time, but you better be right about
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: what you have to know, like you have to know
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: it if you get that opportunity. And I'm sure that
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: at some point somebody wanted to see if you knew
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: exactly what you needed to know, and you did, or
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't be seated there. Like we get those moments,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: but be ready for the moment. And that was something
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: that stayed with me, stays with me. I tell that
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: to my kids all the time. Be prepared, be overprepared,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: even if you don't get it. You'll still show that
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: that person you you showed them respect by being prepared.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: You mentioned eighteen years at ESPN, and I worked on
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: American Idol for four seasons, and I would talk to
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: some of the old contestants from back when idol was
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: so big, and but they said they didn't know it,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: they couldn't feel it because they were in it now.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: ESPN was a culture, especially for me, Was that situation
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: similar because you guys weren't changing culture. Did you know
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: it and could you feel it then? Or was it
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: its own bubble? We were cordoned off, absolutely, and I
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: think that's by design by management. They didn't want us
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: to be bigger than those four letters. Not that we
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: could be, but they didn't want us coloring outside the lines.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Management even told me on one occasion, we don't want
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: another Chris Berman, because Berman is the most important person
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: in the history of ESPN. But he was sort of,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: you know, a hot air balloon that was higher than
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: everybody else but still tethered, and they didn't want that.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: They didn't want that to happen to me or Keith
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Oberman or Stewart Scott or whoever you want to throw
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: in there. So they didn't want you to be a personality.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Um so I think that that was kind of eye
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: opening that we were getting honored. Mentioned. Uh, people came
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: up to us when we saw them when we were
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: out of events, but we weren't in New York or
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: l A. We're in Bristol, Connecticut. We didn't run into anybody.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: But when we did, then you heard the impact that
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: we were having, and you kind of juxtaposed that too.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Management we never knew our ratings. They never told us.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't want to empower you and say
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: you guys are really kicking ass here. It was like, yeah,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: you guys, solid and improving you know, kind of doing
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: a good job there, You're like, damn, I thought I
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: thought we were good, But that was that was eye
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: opening there that management wanted to kind of keep us
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: under their thumb. Final question about the ESPN days and
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: as far as who is would you say as your
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: BFF now from those days if you had to pick one, Oh,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I would say that I correspond with Rich Eyes and
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: more than anybody else. The people I really enjoyed were producers,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: associate producers, the makeup people, camera people. Those are the
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: people I always enjoyed being around. Nobody wants to be
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: around talent because all we do is talk about ourselves.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be around the people who were just
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: normal or as normal as possible in our business, and
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: those are the people I'm still in touch with. Uh,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: more the producers than the talent there, but probably Rich Eyes.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: And how hard is it to have a source that's
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: telling you something but you can't say it. You almost
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: have to act like you don't know it. For the
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: most part, I don't want to know if I can't
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: use it. I say that too, And I'm fortunate having
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: been in this business for almost forty years. You meet
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: people that you trust because you can go back to
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: them or they'll come. They'll they'll let you know if
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: you're right or wrong on something. But I I don't
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: want to know something that I can't even hint at
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: because then I'm not being Then it's gossipy and I
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to do that. But it is a tough
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: situation to be in. Sometimes if somebody goes, hey, you
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: can't use it, I don't, then don't tell me because
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to know. But when they're like, you
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: didn't get it from me, which is different, but sources
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: can be tricky. Last question, and this has really been
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: a treat for me, way more for so for you.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've rated this and given it a
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: low grade what you do. And as soon as you
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: said that, I'm like, god, dang, and now I am
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: going to actually feel like a being critique during the interview.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like that going in. But final question is, uh,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm about to go through a big contract
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: negotiation here with a right so and it's it's it's
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it's quite the monster. I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: What's what's the what am I? What am I not
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: knowing to ask for what is it you don't have?
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not pretty good dance. Yes, I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: always look at it this way. I love for fifteen
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: years being at ESPN, and I could have gotten jobs
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: outside of it, but I loved what I was doing.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: But you can't tell them that you love it so
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: much that you don't factor in what you're worth outside
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: of what you're doing. If that makes sense that, hey,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: on the open market, what would I be worth? Take
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: care of me here? And I always took less, but
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't have any I didn't want to do anything else.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: So do what you love. And it's really hard to
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: find that because if you let money be the carrot
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: that's in front of you, you'll always chase it and
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: you'll never be satisfied. But if you have people you like,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: you've got, you know, they make sure that the people
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: who are surrounding you are good people, fun people. I
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: love seeing my guys every single day. We just laugh.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're serious when you need to be, but
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: we have fun. I enjoy them and it's twenty years
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: for some of these guys. But I think that's the
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: moment you know that you've got to kind of go
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: and if you say to your wife, what do you think,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: because sometimes it's my wife is the smartest person. And
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: you know, you get somebody on the outside kind of
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: looking at all this because we get too close to
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: the sun and you don't want to be icarous here
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, go down in flame. So do what
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: you love as long as you can do it, or
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: you can just take a load of money and then
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: running with it. But yeah, I was hoping that like airplane.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: That's I'm just massive fan, just massive, And thank you
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: for your time and um, you know that's all. And
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: I know you've got a busy day head, so thank
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: you very much and one day hopefully I hope I
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: can touch you soon I would Uh yeah, I hope
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: we crossed paths. Congratulations on all your success and I
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: think that it's not by accident, you know, but I
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: think that that's important as you move move forward, don't
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: forget the kid from a small town in Arkansas, because
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: staying humble, because this business will bite you in the
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: ask quickly. Thank you, Dan, have a good day. Thank you,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Bobby
